Brief Summary

This study was planned to evaluate the effect of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) videos on sleep quality and stress levels of nursing students before clinical practice.

Detailed Description

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a physiological phenomenon that describes a tingling sensation caused by specific visual and auditory triggers, usually starting on the scalp and travelling down the body. These trigger stimuli are often socially intimate in nature and often involve repetition of movements and/or sounds.

According to studies conducted among university students, it is generally stated that university students have poor sleep quality and sleep inadequately. Negative impact on students' sleep quality is a factor that causes them to experience stress. Nursing students are faced with an important source of stress due to the various situations they encounter in the education and practice processes. Although clinical education offers rich opportunities to gain hands-on experience, it is reported that the clinical component of nursing education provides the highest source of stress for nursing students.

This study was planned to evaluate the effect of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) videos on sleep quality and stress levels of nursing students before clinical practice.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
intervention	ASMR	For 7 days, they were asked to watch ASMR videos for 20-30 minutes every evening at 22:00 before going to bed. The videos were downloaded to the student's computer or phone in advance, the student was asked to switch his/her phone to airplane mode to block the stimuli during the viewing, to watch these videos with headphones, to reduce the sounds in the room as much as possible, to lie on his/her bed and to wear comfortable clothes.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
sleep quality	In the study, The sleep quality of the students in the intervention group was measured before the interventions and on the 8th day after the 7-day interventions. Sleep quality of the students in the control group was measured on day 1 and day 8.	PUKI was accepted in determining sleep quality, and in 1989 and its validity and reliability were determined (Cronbach's alpha=0.80). In our country, the validity and reliability study was carried out by Ağargün et al. (16) and the Cronbach alpha value of the scale was found to be 0.80. The scale is a four-point Likert type and contains a total of 24 questions; subjective sleep quality (component 1), sleep latency (component 2), sleep duration (component 3), habitual sleep efficiency (component 4), sleep disturbance (component 5), use of sleeping pills (component 6) and daytime dysfunction (component 3) 7) consists of 7 components. The sum of the seven component scores gives the total PUKI score. The response of each is scored between 0-3 according to symptom frequency. The total score has a value between 0-21.
anxiety	In the study, The anxiety of the students in the intervention group was measured before the interventions and on the 8th day after the 7-day interventions. Anxiety of the students in the control group was measured on day 1 and day 8.	State - Trait Anxiety Inventory-STAI. It was developed by Spielberger et al. (1970). The scale consists of two parts: the State Anxiety Inventory and Trait Anxiety Inventory. The State Anxiety Inventory determines how the individual feels at a certain moment and under certain conditions, and the Trait Anxiety Inventory determines how the individual feels regardless of the situation and conditions. Each scale contains two types of statements with 20 items. In the state anxiety scale, the responses were evaluated with a 4-point scale (never, a little, a lot, completely). In the trait anxiety scale, the answers of the participants were measured with a 4-point scale (never, sometimes, very often, almost always). The total score value obtained from both scales varies between 20 and 80. A high score indicates a high level of anxiety and a low score indicates a low level of anxiety.
